Throughout the Spring 2019 semester, the University Police Department and Emergency Management are offering a number of one-hour training sessions on Active Shooter/Aggressor prevention, preparedness and response. Approximately 2,100 seats are available across all sessions and registration is required.

In September, the University partnered with the McLean County Health Dept. to conduct a full-scale exercise simulating dispensing medications to 75,000 people in response to an Anthrax attack in Chicago. Students, faculty and staff participated in this large training event to help increase our capability to respond should a large outbreak occur.

In April 2018, we conducted a full-scale relocation and reunification exercise involving U-High parents, students and teachers and administrators. This first-of-its-kind exercise brought together 360 parents and students, 50 employees and 100 observers from throughout Illinois to test what happens after the major emergency occurs.
